Project desription

Flood events struck areas of the city Bad Homburg and caused considerable damages in the past. The municipality in conjunction with the task forces of Bad Homburg requested flood action maps which enable them to integrate disaster risk reduction in urban planning processes and launch countermeasures. Procedures to enhance lead time by means of monitoring, accessibility to critical areas, flow velocities and evacuation routes were of particular interest and were developed. Various areas for developing local flood retention were evaluated and integrated in urban development zoning plans.
